How to Make 2 Day Herb Marinated Pimiento Stuffed Olives
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the herbs to infuse the oil.
- While the marinade simmers, pack your jar (approximately 1 pint) with pimiento-stuffed olives.
- Carefully pour the hot marinade over the olives, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Seal the jar tightly. Gently rotate the jar a few times to distribute the marinade evenly.
- Refrigerate for 48 hours, giving the jar a gentle flip every 12 hours to ensure even flavor penetration.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these incredibly flavorful olives! They're perfect alongside other appetizers.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
